HYDROCARBoN-VAPOR BURNER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 705,258, dated July 22, 1902. Application filed September 13, 1898. Serial No. 690,887. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, EDOUARD LE PELLE- TIER, a citizen of the Republic of France, and a resident of Vienna, Austria-Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improve-l ments in Hydrocarbon-Vapor Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a petroleum-vaporizing burner of simple, economical, and durable construction which may be easily cleaned to remove carbouaceous and tarry deposits.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a central vertical section. 2 is a detail section on alarger scale. is a sectional detail of a modication.

Referring first to Figs. l and 2, a designates a main tube having a double bend with the ends a and a2 in alinement,'the lower end a being preferably enlarged and threaded, as shown, for connection with a suitable supply-pipe. (Not shown.) The upper end a2 of the tube is closed by a cap-piece b, having a pointed spindle c extending down into the end of the tube with the object of diminishing the area thereof. cated a wick or brush of metal wires cl,the upper end d of which is compressed by the pointed end of the spindle c. At the lower Fig.

Fig. 3

'end the wires terminate in or are secured to a spherical head d2. A supplemental vapo-y rizing-tube e passes through the wall of the main tube and communicates with the annular space in the upper 'end thereof. From this point the supplementalV tube extends downward and carries at its lower end, by a detachable joint f and short curved pipe f', a vapor-jetnozzle or tip h, located in axial line with the ends of the main tube. This tip is made in two parts 71,' and g, screwed into each other,the lower one,g, carrying a spindle with -a conical point for regulating the vapor-feed.

A fusible metal filling j effects a tight closing 0f the joint between the parts g and h'.

Within the tube is lo-v The preferred form of connection between the tube e and the burner is shown in detail in Fig. 2, where thepipe f is shown with an end Z extending upinto the pipe c and is surroundedl by Vas bestos packing rings or windingslm. An outer lburner-tube n surrounds the vaporizing-tube and carries at its upper end a wire-gauze at, held in place bya threaded cap q.

The burner-tube may, if desired, carry an enlarged portion 19, encircling the vapor-jet nozzle.

In the form shown in Fig. 3 the cap b', in stead of having a spindle, has a central bore c2 flared at its lower end to compress the wires, as indicated at c3. -In this case the supplemental tube e communicates with a lateral extension ofthe central bore c2.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim is- In a vaporizing-burner for petroleum, the combination with a main tube having a double bend with the ends on each side thereof in axial alinement, ofasupplemental Vaporizing-tube communicating lwith the upper end of said main tube and extending downward therefrom, a vapor-jet nozzle or tip carried at the lower end of'said supplemental tube and made in two parts screwed into one another, the lower one carrying a spindle for regulating the vapor-feed, a fusible metal in the vapor-tip closing the joint between the two parts of the tip, said burner-tip being in line with the-aliningends of the main tube, and an outer burnerftufbe encircling the main tube and having a burner-gauze at its upper vend, substantially as described.
